Daddy's Little Girl

by Elana

Things with you have gone down hill.I thought we got through this "rough patch" It's more of a rough life with you. The ups are shorter than the downs. The minimal good you've done doesn't come close to the mental damage.The list of things you should do but haven't is a lot longer than what you have done . Your bucket of bullshit lies is just as full as your bullshit goodbyes.Congrats it was a good disguise But for you it's fame over demiseYour story will prolongAnd I will slowly move along Doing what I do best Taking care of meLoving myself enough for the both of us and more.Knowing now that you weren't worth not one tear I shed on you.Out of the many.Maybe that was my disguiseHolding that one strand of goodnessBehind my daddy's little girl maskYou kept pulling on my stringHad me going for 15 years and 4 days.But today I cut that stringAnd I feel free.
